Rain Technology solutions expand across all display types including LCD, OLED, Micro LED and Mini LED. Our IP portfolio ranges from manufacturing to light emittance to backlights to polarization and privacy.
Mini LED
We developed an innovative way to produce and integrate a precision micro-catadioptric optical array that combines refraction and reflection of light from each emitter, providing directional view angle capability — a significant advantage for many display, backlight, and lighting applications.
Mini LED
Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) dominated the display world for the last 20 years but are now challenged by the rich deep black performance of OLED. Mini LED is a powerful way to exploit existing LCD infrastructure and extend LCD performance for years to come. Compared to standard LCD, Mini LED enables power efficiency by dimming the backlight in dark areas of the image. Our mini-LED capabilities enable LCDs to achieve privacy displays with high brightness and High Dynamic Range (HDR) in a slim display package. Longer term, our proprietary mini LED architectures promise a step change in mini LED performance.
Micro LED
Micro LED is an emerging and rapidly growing display technology that offers better image quality and energy efficiency compared to LCD displays. Our patented micro LED backplane manufacturing techniques are the leading technology on the market and offers your brand’s products a competitive edge.
Standard pick-and-place machines are not fast enough nor accurate enough to hold up to the large-scale production needs of Tier 1 companies. We were quick to realize the benefits of small GaN micro LEDs transferred to a sparse array. In fact, we even created our own proprietary micro LED transfer technique to enable the extraction of micro LEDs from wafers to backplanes for display and lighting applications — an overall rapid, scalable, and cost-effective method of bringing micro LEDs applications to life.
We work closely with our licensing partners to build supply chains and support your manufacturing ramp-up.
OLED
OLED displays provide and improve image quality with better contrast and wider color range, power savings and greater brightness than legacy technologies. This has led to broad adoption, especially in mobile phones, televisions and increasingly laptops and automotives. Rain Technology's IP portfolio supports Switchable Privacy™ capabilities for these displays including for ultra-thin, flexible, and curved hardware.
OLED Switchable Privacy™
Rain Technology's IP covers two distinct approaches to delivering switchable privacy for the OLED platform. Contact us for more information.
LCD
LCD is a ubiquitous display technology found in applications from laptops to monitors, kiosks, and automotive displays. Rain Technology's IP portfolio helps customers to enhance and direct light from these displays, for instance for the purpose of privacy.
Backlight Technology
Our proprietary backlight designs deliver best-in-class performance enhancements for an ultra-bright experience with low-power draw. These backlight designs may be used with standard LCDs or for LCD privacy applications.
Rain Technology has the ability to leverage either standard or collimated backlights to achieve privacy requirements that fit project specifications and budget.
